World class line-up heads for Salford By Kevin Bourke for Manchester online

THE Lowry's exciting new autumn and winter season features more than 70 shows....one of the highlights must be Merce Cunningham, considered by many to be the world's greatest living choreographer, and his Dance Company who, on October 15 and 16 will not only be visiting the north west for the first time in a decade but will also be creating a new work especially for The Lowry, justifiably called Event.

Already announced as the season opener, the hit musical Blood Brothers (November 2 to 13) has been confirmed as starring Blackpool's own Linda Nolan. On the major musical front it is now joined by the UK premiere and pre West End tour of Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical, starring Paul Nicholas.

Ouch! Only two dance events out of 50 Autumn arts highlights in The Observer:

14 Dance Umbrella 2004 Merce Cunningham's dedicated dancers, last seen at the close of Dance Umbrella 2003 in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, open the 26th festival with a recent work, Split Sides. The order of music, by Radiohead and Icelanders Sigur Ros, will be determined at each performance by the roll of dice, as will the choice of costumes and lighting.
